Cash-for-Vote Scam Ex-MP held in India

Indian police yesterday arrested a high-profile lawmaker for allegedly bribing MPs to support the government in a crucial confidence vote three years ago.
The arrest of Amar Singh in the so-called "cash-for-votes" case could mean fresh troubles for the besieged Congress-led government, which has been shaken by a series of graft scandals.
Singh, 55, is accused of bribing three opposition members of parliament to back the government in the confidence vote that was sparked by opposition to a nuclear pact with the United States.
He has denied the allegations.
